I am pretty sure BW does not even know what Sorcs are supposed to be able to be at this point anymore. So much got changed since 3.0 from what it once originally was concept planned. I find it funny sometimes that BW actually thinks the current new stuff (mobility, etc) is a good enough consolation for all the nerfs.

From Low Slash on Shadows to Ziost speeder in WZs. The signs are obvious. The time is nigh. Soon to be death of SWTOR. Repent!

How cute. I was referring to how BW is making FPs more accessible without groups and allowing the option of solo content. Not the competency of players needed for groups. PvP already has solo separated from group in ranked. If they changed FPs to be solo why not go ahead and see about unranked being separated from groups? And I have ran raids competently and the only thing keeping me from running the newer ones is finding a serious guild that is not hardcore about raiding to get with. GF is next to dead even on prime time.

I find it funny that while this OP is trying to get their daily done in ranked, people form premades with their buddies (Who also have near or at min-maxed ranked gear) To get their daily done in unranked. We have people in unranked complain about the premades. and then we have people in solo ranked complain about the person getting their ranked dailies. People who are at the successful level of ranked 9/10 times have buddies, and usually are the ones who form premades. Who are not just buddies, but also PvP with them and are usually at the same level of gear, and will never be accustomed to just slugging unranked ever again alone. Much like buddies/guilds in progression raids etc who seldom PUG it in GF. But in unranked PvP for those who don't buddy up (Lets face it. most of the time the other players in PvP are jerks. Or do not want to form guilds just to que for unranked PvP regardless if they would make the guild to form for ranked later.) So what do we have? People who are in unranked for fun or just to get gear FOR ranked get this treatment. It is not fun. Sure people have to win and people have to lose in PvP. But it could be more fair. The situation is different on all servers. So why do we still not have unranked as serperated as ranked? Or is BW just making sure the hardcore PvPers are satisfied with allowing them to milk unrated After all we already have the Solo versions of FPs going now. It is about time PvP followed suit fully.

Que times usually do not take long in the main hours. But can sometimes take awhile depending on if any of the very few main PvP guilds are queing for regs or for ranked (mainly Imp side). Sometimes during the day people will setup solo ranked groups and they will be advertised on the fleet. On the side part: Reps have one pretty strong PvP guild. They are pretty good in regs. Otherwise hope your Imp team are geared or are competent for anything else vs them. You usually will never see many matches against them for long. On Imp side its a bit easier. Usually it is always Imp vs Imp. You might run into some premades, and the guys running regs for the quest. Server is heavy for Imps. And it depends on if you get a derp team or a competent team. However be expecting to get stomped by premades regularly.

If true then we are even more below the burst spec level.

As I said before. The Devs go backwards in 3.0 against what was changed in 2.#. Whether it is class spec philosophy being upturned with the new stuff in 3.0 and 3.1.2 or a stun possibly worse than bubblemez that everyone complained about.

Watching that vid I was laughing so hard once I started to see the automatic throwing. Bioware seriously, what are you doing when it comes to classes?

Actually that happened to me twice. Once there was a republic sage going around on Rishi for the credit crates. At first I thought his connection sucked horribly because of how badly his character was teleporting. But then suddenly they just disappeared after running for a small distance. Then on Section X there was a guardian that stomped a level 40 something. I being in PvP gear decided to avenge my fellow imperial. And as soon as I entered combat by putting dots on them they disappeared. I thought they used stronghold travel or something. So I went to where I was originally going, to finish the area quest in Section X. I finished it and ran back to the imperial player that was ambushed and the guardian was right back where he was and still showing up as red. And then proceeded to do battle.

It really is horrible at times. Casting TB with on the move utility and needing to get barrier up because of another DPS switching to me. It would be nice to be able to chose what button can be used to end any current cast.

Wow and I thought the Elitists in PvP were mean/dumb. This made me laugh pretty hard.

Pretty much. Classes like Jugs and Maras that get their class resource by attacking have a reason to if there is not a better target around. But blowing CDs and not being a class that gets resources by doing basic attacks have NO excuse. It is bad enough people are not coordinated when a Sorc is E-netted. But now we have this talk of 'H2F' being OP.

I actually get more tired of classes that ignore me when I run and blow all their CDs instead of waiting till I am below 50% health. Usually the enemy team gets me to 30%. And I start kiting but the funny thing is they stop going after me.

PvP is full of the venting of death. People just vent about dying in PvP or some other whiny topic. Do not worry about it. I admit I get mad at people going into PvP without gear. But on the flip side going for solo ranked without PvP gear for the daily only to get comms is reasonable. I do not expect a good number of wins for you though for your time. And if people get really aggressive and call you names and titles straight out of what seems like a Call of Duty community do not worry either. PvP is hard. People need to vent somehow to justify themselves

The force storm ability always makes me laugh when I see sorcs on the other team spam it. Even though my team isn't bunched up. As a Sorc I have stopped using it in single target and have actually done better that way. Going for the other abilities actually does better DPS wise. Can it be said Force Storm plays a role in dealing with the enemy when they bunch up? Sure. Should it be used to single target DPS? No. But until Bioware figures out how to best deal with it while still making sure Sorcs in general do not go back to what they were pre-3.0 lightning wise, people should just role Hatred Sins. I for one am quite glad lightning FINALLY got buffs. And find it hilarious how people are complaining about force storming sorcs that can still somewhat be shut down when they better be glad people are running sorcs a lot instead of assassins.
